This book is a compilation of essays published in the author's other books of English oral history. A good sampling of his work.Gives insights into both the joys and the hardships of country life before mechanization took over. We can be glad that children are no longer kept out of school to collect rocks from fields or to trap sparrows for dinner. But much of value was lost as well.

George Ewart Evans, who wrote the classic Ask the Fellows Who Cut the Hay, was one of the pioneers of oral history. This anthology is drawn from his writings about the memories of men and women of a past era - farm labourers, shepherds, horsemen, blacksmiths, wheelwrights, sailors, fisherman, miners, maltsters, domestic servants and many others. The anthology is edited and includes drawings by David Gentleman. 'A pleasure to look at and a delight to read . . . A treasury of country folklore in words and pictures, and a monument to a great and pioneering man . . . It is right that the past should be heard of in the words of those who lived it . . . Those who actually cut the hay.' Daily Telegraph Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
